Shabbat Sermon: Hitting the Ever-Moving Target of Jewish Education with Rabbi Ravid Tilles

It seems the goal-post of how we reach and teach the next generation is always moving. As parents, grandparents, educators, and a community who cares, how do we get it right? How can we move the next generation toward an indelible connection to Judaism now and for generations to come?
